Which field is best for Off Break Bowler in One Day Matches?For Right Hand Batsmen and Left Hand Batsmen.
Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
Hi Junaid,
I suggest for an off-spinner bowling to a right hander that you set-up with a 4-5 leg side field with a deep point fielder, a deep square leg and a deep mid-wicket with everyone else in the ring. Bowling to a left hander I suggest going with a 5-4 off side field with a deep square leg and deep point but everyone else in the ring.
You can push more fielders back to the boundary if the batsman is playing shots. I would drop the mid-on and mid-off back first depending on where the batsman is hitting the ball. I hope this was helpful!

Pre-season is the best time to rebuild and refine batting technique without the pressure of match results. This article covers the fundamental batting positions that underpin consistent run-scoring, provides a progressive session framework from shadow batting to live bowling, and highlights the common pre-season mistakes that coaches should avoid.
Fielding placement in limited overs cricket is a tactical chess match that changes with every phase of the innings. This article breaks down how captains should set fields during the powerplay, middle overs, and death overs, and provides practical coaching sessions for developing game-aware fielders who anticipate rather than react.
With IPL 2026 starting this month, we break down the art of powerplay bowling - field placement, line and length, and how to turn the fielding restrictions to your advantage.
